Siren’s Sleep

Two a.m. — the ceiling bends

Breath goes thin where daylight ends

Shadows stitched into my coat

Smoke curls in my throat

Time drips slow from numbered hands

Silver dust across the land

I leave my daylight at the gate

And let the dark translate

Pre-Chorus

There’s a language in the flicker

In the tremor of the wire

Every shadow grows thicker

When you stand inside the fire

⸻

Hook

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

Teeth in the quiet

Hands in the deep

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

⸻

Verse 2

My name dissolves in neon rain

I wear a face that isn’t mine

Mirrors crack but don’t explain

The echo in the spine

There’s a crown made out of pressure

A throne of broken glass

You learn to love the fracture

If you want the night to last

⸻

Pre-Chorus (heavier)

Every hour’s a confession

Every minute leaves a mark

I don’t pray for resurrection

I pray to stay in the dark

⸻

Hook (bigger, layered vocals)

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

Static in my bloodstream

Kneeling at my own feet

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

⸻

Bridge (strip to bass + distant drums)

Soft / spoken:

I am not tired.

I am becoming.

I am not trapped.

I am chosen.

(Beat creeps back in)

Say it with me—

⸻

Breakdown (chanted, aggressive)

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

Louder.

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

⸻

Final Chorus (chaotic, almost screamed)

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe

Crowned in the static

Born of the heat

If daylight wants me

It’ll have to bleed

When the sirens sleep

That’s when I breathe
